nominative
In grammar, the nominative (case) (abbreviated NOM), subjective case, straight case or upright case is one of the grammatical cases of a noun or other part of speech, which generally marks the subject of a verb, or (in Latin and formal variants of English) a predicative nominal or adjective, as opposed to its object, or other verb arguments. Generally, the noun "that is doing something" is in the nominative, and the nominative is often the form listed in dictionaries.

nominative
Nominative is a grammatical term referring to the case (or form) of a noun, pronoun or adjective that typically indicates the subject of the verb in a sentence. It is commonly used in languages that have a case system, like Latin, Greek, German, Russian, etc. In English, which has lost most of its case system, nominative is primarily relevant for pronouns (for example: I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
